6:00am-Wake up and look on at my phone for 15 minutes.
6:30am-I've been running more in the summer, so either run or workout.
7:15am-Get back from running, stretch, take a shower.
7:45am-Get kids ready for school, check backpacks, etc.
8:10am-Walk kids to school.
8:45am-Get to work. My routine in the morning is to eat breakfast, which is usually a protein bar, apple, and carrots.  I try to drink at least 80 ounces of water.
12:00pm-1:00pm  Go to lunch.  Usually will either run errands or get something like Jimmy Johns.  Always listen to podcasts or audio books in the car.
3:30pm  Usually at this point I get a diet pop so I can power through the day.
6:00pm  Get home.  
6:00pm-8:00pm  Usually will eat dinner, do stuff with kids, and then start to get ready for bed.
8:30pm Kids are in bed, usually will either watch TV for a little bit.  Either go to bed when my wife goes to bed, or stay up and work.

wake up between 7-9. my "hey stupid, get up!" alarm is set for 9.
? - about 930, have a cup of coffee and do some light cleaning around the house. if I wake up earlier, I tackle a larger project.
930ish, throw the pups in the car and either head to the dog park or the canal for a walk.
12ish, get home with the pups. have lunch and get ready for work.
1pm, leave for work. stop at the village market for an iced coffee and a scratch card to occupy me at work after the day shift leaves.
2-10, work
11, get home and let the pups out one last time. play with them quietly for a little while before turning out the lights so they will go back to sleep.

most nights I turn out my own light by midnight. this week has been closer to 1am, so I've been getting up with that "hey, stupid!" alarm.

[gooddecisions]

22 minutes is exactly how long it takes me to get the three of them out the door. My super power is timing, pretty lame as far as super powers, but better than nothing. If I am running late (which is rare), every light turns green and lanes clear. And hey, I haven't used an alarm clock in over 20 years. I am not sure I ever needed one.

[Knee Deep in Water Chloe]

If I work, morning is done by 7:30 am
If I'm off, morning is usually done by 9:00am. I also go to the gym in the morning.
I'm at work from 7:45-5:00/5:30.
I have to take and pick up DD#2 to and from dance class five or six days per week, and that time varies.

[MJ2.0]

7-11pm - (no idea - probably eat, watch Netflix/YouTube, look at/apply for jobs, game, chat with friend)
11pm or possibly later - realize I passed out while watching Netflix, turn off lights, and get properly to sleep

Weekdays with DS:
5:50-6:10am - wake up & use bathroom
by 6:15ish - work out (between 22-35 mins)

7:20-7:25 - DS starts breakfast, I frantically throw together breakfast for myself while assembling lunches
7:45 - DS is finally done eating and goes to brush teeth while I shove my remaining breakfast down my gullet

9:15 - get to to work
6ish - start driving home
7:00-7:15 - get DS from X

Since I am totally ready and the car is packed, that includes turning Dora on, opening the door to my 3 yr old and 5 yr olds room. My 5 yr old gets up right away not wanting to miss dora. She is ready in 5 min, my 3 yr old grudgingly gets out of bed and I am able to get her dressed and teeth brushed in 5 min. Then I go to my 1 year olds room, who likes to snuggle for a few minutes. Once I get her diaper changed, teeth brushed and clothes on, I can return to brushing hair and putting shoes on. When Dora ends, they know it is time to march out the door. They do get breakfast at daycare, but I used to work that when I dropped them off later. I would have their breakfast out before getting them up, get them dressed and they could watch the 22 min show and eat while i brushed their hair and put shoes on. It is much easier now that I don't have to nurse the baby.

I want to say "teach me your ways" but who am I kidding?   I'm tired after just reading all that!
 

[NoNamePerson]

Exception is Sunday when I get up at 7, sit around until 8when I call my mom for about one hour and then I either do something around the house or go up on the mountain and root out some stone. Life is beautiful!

Don't know if this was asked of me but just in case the answer is no

[Deleted]

It was a general thing. Swamp has a thread with the link, how to protest.

[busymom]

A regular routine?  What is that?!?  

[Anne_in_VA]

Workdays are up at 6 -6:15, make tea and take meds/vitamins, read newspaper and watch news, 7 get shower and dressed if going into office.  Put on makeup and blow dry hair.  7:45 drive to work. 

If not going to office, throw on some clothes and fire up the work laptop.  8 am check work emails then start working on projects.  5 pm go home or turn off the laptop.  Once home from work, unload dishwasher, start dinner, throw in a load of laundry.  Eat dinner, clean kitchen and load/start dishwasher.  7:30 watch Jeopardy then watch tv (sling or Netflix), play games, then bed at 10.

The days I work from home I will do some light housework or throw in a load of laundry between conference calls. 

[Shooby]

9-ish-head to bed so I can get up at 5am and do it all again.

[NastyWoman]

All of you need to buy new clocks! Who in the world voluntarily provides shelter to an item that claims there is supposed to be life before 7 am (or 9am in the weekend). Those are just dangerous, torture devices and they need to be destroyed WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS!!! 

[Anne_in_VA]

Unfortunately, my cat demands that I get up and feed her!  That and I need to work too.  They don't pay me if I don't work.

[toomuchreality]

Anything I want. Anytime I want.  I may, or may not have learned this from NNP.
